Clean Trade

Duration: 45 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

Former 'Casualty' regular Ivana Basic is Rosa in Winsome Pinnock's new drama set in an investment bank. We follow the changing fortunes of a tight knit group of cleaners and members of a Jamaican style 'pardner ring' - a type of savings club. There's one problem - they have hardly any savings and all have terrible financial problems. Led by wannabe trader Nessa, they try their hand at trading on the stock market. Much to their surprise they start to make money, but as they do so they find that their new found riches lead to conflict as their friendships are put to the test.

Directed by Nandita Ghose
